Synopsis
An eleven-year-old Turkish boy, two young men from a small town, and a cuckolded policeman from the sticks all find their way to Berlin on May Day, where, in the district of Kreuzberg, emotions come to the boil every year. Little Yavuz is eager to gain recognition and is determined to "floor a cop" in order to impress his older brother. But then he meets Hary, a onetime member of the student revolts of the late sixties, and thinga turn out completely differently. Jacob and Pelle from Minden are hell-bent on having a boys own adventure in the capital. They are a couple of inquisitive tourists cruisinf for a bruising, drifting aimlessly between sightseeing, their search for the city's best kebab shop and the protest march of the anarchic "Black Block". As the ruckus begins, policeman Uwe has problems of quite a different kind.
